I rang up my local Smyths today and asked for any elite 15s in stock i got told they are all gone and he tells me they sell out really quickly as soon as they stock them...you would think the manager or whoever would order more stock when the demand is greater than the supply. Im sick to death of getting ripped of on eBay. Makes me want to stop collecting. Anyone else annoyed?

Let's face facts: mattel has no concept of supply and demand, despite them saying they fulfill all orders!

It does seem you have to be at the store on the same day they are delivered to find any new Elites (or the good ones, anyway!). I've found TRU to be better these last few series (12, 13, 14) - they may be a couple of quid extra, but you can usually find them a bit easier and they don't seem to sell out quite so fast.
Having said that though, I bought all series 14 and 15 online (from A1 Comics)... they're only £1 extra than TRU - and it probably works out a bit cheaper with all the petrol I'd use going to various stores(!).

Yeah WWE Elites seem to fly off the shelves faster with each series. I remember seeing most of Elite 8 and 9 at Leeds TRU for quite a while - but since then each series has been harder to get hold of.
I struck lucky with E14, i was in the store when they put out the new display of them, so I was lucky to pick up the full set.
I do tend to order online more now though, A1 Comics are pretty good, superstriker on ebay and wrestlingworld sometimes too.
I have pre-ordered Elite 16 from RSC for the first time, the full set of 7 cost me £124 shipped. Depending on what customs fees I get hit with will show if it was worth it or not.

Smyths havent had elite 15 yet. They will be in the next delivery. Ask yoir true which 2 days a week they have the delivery then pop in the next day or last thing before closing mate.
